Bachelor's or Master's degree?
Now I am writing my resume in English and have a problem with translating my degree. I know there are Bachelor's and Master's degree in English speaking countries. However, in Ukraine, there are: Bachelor's, Specialist's and Master's degrees.
I have attained Specialist's degree in Philology with honors (Bachelor's degree + 1 year of studies = Specialist's degree). The only difference with Master's degree was that the 5-th year I studied by correspondence.
The question is: how should I translate my degree into English? Bachelor's or Master's degree? What is more relevant?

The resume doesn't need to differentiate between a "correspondence" year and a "physical campus presence" year. If the academic learning standards and requirements are identical, then I would use the higher degree, which I assume to be the Master's Degree.

you can translate it to ((diploma)) i am making masters too but before i start to make masters i had made 2 years of studying after bachelor. we call it in Egypt, diploma. If you also search on web about the scientific degrees you will find this degree which is called diploma. Also before masters, we study one year in Egypt before making masters and it is called premasters. Also you can just translate it as ( post graduate). Post graduation is a studying after bachelor.
i hope it is helpful for you.
